A Flood of Stable Linux Kernels Released

Posted by timothy on from the five-is-better-than-one dept.

Julie188 writes "Greg Kroah-Hartman has released five new stable Linux kernels, correcting minor errors of their predecessors and including improvements which are unlikely to generate new errors. As so often with kernel versions in the stable series, it remains undisclosed if the new versions contain changes which fix security vulnerabilities, although the number of changes and some of the descriptions of those changes certainly suggest that all the new versions contain security fixes."

    Yup, this kernel fixed the task-switching problem that was keeping the general public from using linux as their main OS. Take that, Microsoft!
